Problems solved by technology

Issues arise when these devices are actually needed because they are usually not easily accessible to a person in a dangerous situation.
For example, if a person was mugged, or attacked from behind by an assailant, it is unlikely that they would have the time or opportunity to reach in their purse or pocket to obtain whatever means of protection they may be carrying.
This method is difficult and undesirable to some, as holstering a weapon discreetly requires one to wear baggy clothes to remain inconspicuous.
Other options include carrying self-defense sprays to ward off an attacker, however, it is sometimes difficult to obtain the spray when under attack, and therefore these devices may prove useless in a dangerous situation.
However, Mock does not go far enough.
However, the use of a single activation button runs the risk of inadvertent release.
